Xbox1.com domain next on Microsoft’s list

4.4
Microsoft has filed yet another dispute over domain names related to its new console, this time chasing down the owner of xbox1.com via the National Arbitration Forum.

The domain is currently registered to a Japanese address, and has had three owners in the last ten years.

Since filing a dispute with the NAF is an extreme measure, Microsoft is likely to have pursued the domain through less dramatic means, and been rejected.

As Fusible points out, again, Microsoft’s legal team are pretty good at this sort of thing and will likely win. Should have taken the offer, yo.

Microsoft recently tackled XboxOne.com and XboxOne.net, both of which were registered to a UK resident at the time.

So who wants to figure out the next console and buy up all the domains? It is worth a few million dollars.

Vampiric In all fairness they have no right to take away a domain from someone that they've had for years just because they decided to make a product with the same name.
It was THEIRS first.


Sorry, but obviously Microsoft has had the name "Xbox One" in at least consideration for longer than that owner has.

Anyways, that name utilizes Microsoft's patent/copyright "Xbox"

That will likely be the domain they just don't want anything close to it been with other people as it could lead to phishing of accounts.

They aren't going to even use any of the domains they acquire, they just don't want other people using it for bad purposes. The site for all xbox will be Xbox.com, it will not change with the new console.
